The MILLENNIUM.

The Present State of Affairs on Earth Linz
tied to the Present Century, According to
Rev. NJ. BaXter-The BOnaparte Dynasty,
Twice Killed, to Rise TruiumphAnt and
With Terrible Power Ere the Prophecy
VIII be Fulhlled-The Beginning of the
End in 1890.
New YORK, Feb. 2O-Rev. NJ Baxter,
who has been fixing the end Of time for Il
week or two past, settled the question
this afternoon. About the year 1900 the
millennium will begin. He told all about
it in Cosmopolitan Hall to about five hun
dred persons, Around the room were ar
ranged illustrations of Daniels visions
aud Johns revelations, most OF them of
a cherries character Before the mil
lennium comes there is to be a season of
hard times for every body on both sides
of the world. The audience was not i'm
pressed, the collection being too small for
Il congregation expecting TO have no use
for money in a short while
What Rev. Mr. Miller proved so couclu-
sively many years ago, what a great
many Second Adyentists have from time to
time fixed at later movable dates, Rev.
Mr.. Baxter figured as unanswerably to-
day for 1900. He read from Daniel to
prove that the present trouble in the East
was his prophecy-all nations going to
fight Jerusalem. The image seen by Neb-
uchadnezzar with head of gold and feet
Of clay was about demolished to the
feet, and the toes were represented by the
ten kingdoms of Caesars wOrld-England,
France, Spain, Italy and Portugal on the
right FOOT Greece, Egypt, Syria, Bulgaria
and Asia Minor on the left. To fulfill all
! the prophecies two prominent things must
happen-England must become a republic
and France must whip Germany.
/ The speaker depicted the scenes Of tho
! latter times with the world adrift, and at
this point called upon the congregation to
sing "Pull for the shore" The men
! rophesying in the beginning of the mil
! lennium were as much ahead Of their age
as Calico, Isaac Newton ald Jenner. How
astonished the children of the millennium
would be, he said, that we were so blind in
this matter. Having opened the six phials
mentioned by John, the Revelator, Mr.
| Baxter opened the seventh The former
| phials referred to things that had already
! happened; the seventh refers to things to
! come. Mr. Baxter said: "The anti
Christ, who will open things Just

! French people will own about all
Europe. New York and the Western
! Hemisphere cuts no figure in the conquest
! of the Bonaparte dynasty, which is the
seven-headed animal mentioned in Daniel
as having received deadly wound from
which it recovered The dynasty was
twice killed--once at Waterloo-once at
Sedan. This double death makes assur-
ance doubly sure. Daniel said the wound
would be healed This means that in
the coming conflict with Germany
France will win. We are now between
the wounding and healing. The begin
! ming Of the end will come in 1890 Then
for seven years Prince Bonaparto will
reign supreme and many millions will be
put to death in those terrIl lo times This
is the battle of ArmageddOn. All The
Anarchists, Socialists and dy namitcrs
will join and fight the saints
Bad as the state of things will be under
Bonaparte's reign they will be worse IN
the succeeding three years and a half.
Still, real estate owners are making their
wills, deciding their possessions TO their
children's children as if the world were
going on forever. In thirteen years the
Vexel land question will settle itself-no
body will own a cents worth. We are
on the verge of the war with God AL
mighty and evil spirits are now at
work getting the forces together. The
dragon, the scarlet woman and tho beast
with seven horns are busily engaged in
raising troops. Spiritualstic mediums
will be told by Satan that Napoleon is the
ancient of days and all the spirtualists
will Join his forces. The spirit OF Com
munism which is represented by the So
cialists in Germany the Nihilists in Rus
STA, the Feuians in Ireland, is one Of the
elements of the coming struggle
There will be great earthquakes be
tween the present day and the end Of all
the trouble, but the greatest will be the
final one, when all these lofty fats, hotels
and business structures will be fiatteued
to the ground, The Charleston earthquake
is not the only one of its kind there are
others coming both there and in places
heretofore exempt.
The end of the century is the end Of the
world-in its present condition. Then
will come the millennium. The chosen
ones during that thousand years will
sleep in heaven at night and come down
to the earth to do their work. Then, ny
spreading their wings, they will sy TO the
sun. There will be people on earth who
ran not fly. But, travelling on railroad
trains, they will look out of the win
dows and see the lion and the Child 10
gether; the bear and the COW, the wolf
and the lamb At the beginning of the
millennium Christ will come as q thief in
the night and get the $4,000 Christians.
He will be like the rich men who now
have country houses-working on earth
aud living in Heaven.
